Flashback to the 1970’s

Why Focus on Employees? Raytheon has a long history of energy efficiency efforts – Dating back to 1970’s – Recognized by U.S. Energy and Commerce Depts. “JUICE” Poster Campaign – Main focus in 80’s and 90’s on infrastructure efficiency opportunities More focus on “untapped potential” with employees in recent years – Analysis of off-hour consumption showed room for improvement  Off-hour audits confirmed lots of waste happening – Employees were not motivated enough to save energy at work – Employees much more apt to practice conservation at home – Used ENERGY STAR “Work and Home” theme to reach employees – Utilized ENERGY STAR recognition to engage “top down” support

Critical Step: Develop a Network Established network of Energy Champions – Anyone who sets a good example for others – Promotes energy conservation and efficiency every day – The responsibility of the Energy Champion is to: Instill a culture of energy conservation within their respective workspaces with each occupant and with every piece of equipment. Develop conservation strategies specific to their work areas. Identify and implement Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) Assure there is no backsliding – Savings must be maintained. Share progress, lessons learned, and innovative energy practices with other team members.
